Speedy Endurance

Castelli get a lot of requests for a mid-range performance short, and this one is special. Castelli use Endurance Evolution fabric, a high-modulous very flat Lycra® fabric that feels extremely dry while giving just the right amount of compression. The waist construction eliminates stitching and elastic and lies completely flat. Finally they use the Giro3 leg band from their premium shorts and put in the freshly updated KISS Air seat pad.

Giro3Leg Grippers

Instead of stitching silicone elastic to the short, Castelli knit the grip material directly into the short in a 5cm-wide band that gently compresses while securely holding the short in place. It lies completely flat for improved aerodynamics.

KissAir Seat Pad

The kiss Air seat pad aims to incorporate as many of the features and comfort as the top-of-the-line progetto x2 seat pad but at a more affordable price.

2. Continuously variable thickness: Dual density and infinitely variable thickness gives you the perfect cushioning for every part of the pad. Maximum thickness and density in the ischial zone, tapering to moderate thickness in the perineum, and minimum thickness at the perimeter.

3. Anatomic shape: Comfort is further enhanced by creating a perfect interface to your body during every pedal stroke.

About Lycra Cycling Shorts

Cycle shorts offer unrestricted movement on the bike with the added benefit of a chamois for comfort. They are the traditional cycling leg wear for any distance rider. Lycra shorts hold their internal pad in the ideal position throughout the ride, offering comfort and cushioning for both on and off road riding. Lycra shorts stretch with your body so there are no seams to rub you up the wrong way or restrict your pedalling motion. They are lightweight in material and since there is only one layer of thin fabric, they breathe well and keep you cool on hot days, or can be used under a pair of winter tights. Higher end models will have more panels and will generally fit better, a good pair of shorts is essential for longer rides and combined with a chamois crème make a wise investment.

Great, but not durableBought these for my partner when we went on a 3 month tour this summer.
The shorts fit really well, were comfortable, and looked great. Unfortunately, after just a few weeks use the material on both front thigh panels started to fail (little bits of white elastic fibres showing). By the end of our tour the panels were see-through. The front of the pad also separated on the inside and was rolling back - at least we could put a few stitches in hold it in place.
Castelli claim the fabric problem is due to friction: I don't know what?! Just ridden on a bike and washed in a delicates bag along with my Castelli X2 shorts which still look as good as new. Expected better and disappointed the brand offered no help or compensation.

Excellent pieceI usually have problems with legs too large. The fabric is perfectly stretchable but strong enough. The waist is high so my back is always covered with the shorts. Had taken few rides and very satisfied with this piece

Comfy 120 miles!First time buying higher end shorts and I really noticed the difference - much more breathable, the chamois is wider and helps prevent chaffing further down your thighs, and everything just feels a lot kinder on your skin. They definitely come up small - I'm a UK 12 / medium on my lower half in most brands, I bought these in large and they are very close fitting! Wore them on the Dunwich Dynamo and with plenty of chamois cream I was pretty comfy, despite using a less than ideal saddle. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to put in lots of miles!
